She had thrown a spell into his life this night, and his steps were wandering on, purposeless, unconscious, with an exhilaration akin to some subtle opiate. Her life was set in noisome places. Yet the poor mass of clay in the upper room that had burdened her so grievously what was it, after all, but one of the ephemeral unrealities of life to be brushed aside?
It is only when the soul is alone with itself that it can bring forth these eternal truths. It is at these times related to the true and eternal, and not to the ephemeral and apparent.
You know something about the great discovery which has advanced all modern science from its mediæval condition to that of the present of the application of the inductive system of science and thought; and you know that it is by constant and close mathematical study of analogy of probability that we exclude error little by little from our observations we improve more and more our instruments of precision we count out the errors of our observation; and we are constantly seeking those laws which are not transient and ephemeral only, but which are eternal and immortal.
I went into the house and was informed, to my great astonishment, that the ephemeral Minister was being measured for his official suit, an act which so completely denoted the character of the conspirator that it gave me an insight into the business. Mallet repaired to General Hulin, who had the command of Paris.
He would smile at their earnestness and zeal, all spent in supplying the necessaries of the day, or, at most, providing for the revolution of the seasons, or for that ephemeral thing we call the life of man. Few things can appear more singular, when duly analysed, than that articulated air, which we denominate speech.
"If love is fleeting, it is not love!" he answered "As ephemeral passion called by that name is the ordinary sort of attraction existing between ordinary men and women, men, who see no farther than the gratification of a desire, and women, who see no higher than the yielding to that desire.
What a small matter it seems now, after our astronomical stupendousness! and yet on my way to you it so far transcended the ordinary matters of my life as the subject you have led me up to transcends this. But, with a little laugh, 'I will endeavour to sink down to such ephemeral trivialities as human tragedy, and explain, since I have come.
"Of course I know it. Am I blind or a fool?" Then before the glowing worship in her face, he caught her in his arms, while he said over and over, "I love you! I love you!" He held her close, thrilling at her touch, seeking her warm lips with an eagerness which comforted her because she was too inexperienced to understand how ephemeral was its nature and its sweetness.
Centuries elapsed before men understood that Alexander had not merely erected an ephemeral kingdom in the east, but had carried Hellenism to Asia; centuries again elapsed before men understood that Caesar had not merely conquered a new province for the Romans, but had laid the foundation for the Romanizing of the regions of the west.
It should teach us to distrust the apparent size of objects, which is a mere cheat of their nearness to us, that we are so often reminded of how small account things seem to one generation for which another was ready to die. A copy of the Jus Divinum held too close to the eyes could shut out the universe with its infinite chances and changes, its splendid indifference to our ephemeral fates.
